My Unique Life in Windows Live Space

  Have you seen these great pictures at Hack's Spaces that he has available for you to download and make these cool Background Tables photos? Just like this one that I made using his tables and a picture that I had taken of the Mackinac Bridge Panoramic View using a background table. The reason I am asking this question is because I uploaded this photo into my ImageShack account before I knew how to upload photos in My SkyDrive. This is the picture right here that I get so many hits on my page because it is just so beautiful:

Click on the photo to get the full affect of the beauty of this shot. I think the reason that you don't see more people using these beautiful photos in there Blogs is because the search engines can't find these photographs because the are hidden in Hack's SkyDrive. Then when the photos are used in a background table, like I have done many times, the photos are invisible to the image search engines.

I am going to post several of my favorite photos from Hack's Spaces from Dev's collect to try and prove my point here today. Dev has written a great article on how to use these Background Tables that are available for you to use. Once the image search engine finds the photo it links it to the article it was used in, but the problem with using the tables is the search engine can't find the photo because it is stored in another location.

These beautiful pictures are being held hostage by a flaw in the image search engine programming. Because it can't locate a photo stored on a hard drive these fantastic photo are left undiscovered because they don't show up in image searches. Like I said previously above about the Moon & Mountains picture above it's the photo stored in my ImageShack site that is getting these hits on my site, because it can be found by the image search engines.

The experiment here today with this entry is to see if I post these three additional photos and it draws some attention to the other fabulous photos just waiting for you to discover and use them. If the image search engines will find these photos that I am posting here today to lead you to the treasure of beautiful shots. So that you can use the photos and tables of your choice in your articles with these great background tables!

My Unique Life in Windows Live Space

  So yesterday I keep hearing this dinging noise coming from my computer, and I had no idea what was making the noise? Come to find out Bellamusica had left me a Xat Chat Box in my Guestbook and that's what was making all the noise. I chatted for a few minutes, and I don't what I said wrong, but I was Banned from using the Chat Box. This is on my own page and in my own guestbook, so I deleted the Chat Room. I did save the Xat Chat Box page in my favorites and decided to install one today!

I really liked the way that the Xat Chat Box Room worked in my Window Live Spaces site. It works a lot better than the ShoutBox that I have on my page for Non-Windows Live people to chat with me. Besides no one really uses it so really it is just taking up space on my site. I think I am going to try this new chat room and see how I like it, maybe people will even use it, and wouldn't that be a surprise!

I really don't know any thing about this new gadget I have install other than it looks cool and works great on my Windows Live Space site. I realize that I was spammed by Bellamusica but sometimes you might even get something that you like from spam! I would really like it if you stopped by my page to use this new chat room. I want to know what you think about it, and maybe you might like to have a cool chat room on your page too, just like I do!

Thanks for listening,

[Fiction] Friday

At Write Anything: “You call yourself a writer? Prove it.”

[Fiction] Friday Challenge September 5, 2008:

This Week’s Theme: Quick Change: Pick a book of fiction you’d never read (e.g., if you read sci-fi, pick a romance). Open to a random page and read the last couple paragraphs of the page. DO NOT TURN THE PAGE. Now continue writing the story. Feel free to change the genre as you write.

Previous Wicked Stories (I) (II)

Wicked's Life Fantasy!

Harry Potter's life has got nothing over on Wicked when it comes to fantasy although Harry's stories have been told to millions. What happens in our minds is an endless array of dreams, fantasy, horror and the genre of the creation of an endless story of our lives. Although while reading fictional stories the characters and events can seem very real to us as we become mesmerized and amazed by reading the words. The playground in the mind is a wonderful place were you have control over the story.

The reality in life is not so easy to control although having a tendency to laugh at life and not to make the happenings in what our daily lives have become make us miserable. When you think about your life; it is so much more exciting to picture all the fantastic magical events that will possibly happen, than to think about your life in the boring mundane existence that is more likely to take place. Escaping the reality of the present moment and wondering off into some imaginary world can make you feel like a child again, with a life full of wonder and possibilities.

Wicked has really enjoyed opening up his mind to the spirit world with his encounters with Gabriel, and the vast knowledge and wisdom that can be retrieved from someone who has already lived their life. Gabriel can tell us what to expect in our transition from this life to the next. Just like Harry's learning magic spells at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry the information that can be learned from Gabriel and other spiritual beings can enlighten our limited view of life.

The world is full of endless possibilities if only we can allow our thoughts to extend from the very limited thinking of reality. Taking that next step into the unknown realm of wonder has Wicked thinking that he has already left this plain of reality. Wicked also believes that it is very inept in his thinking that planet earth is the only place in the universe were life exists. When he looks up at the stars and the vastness of space Wicked can see the possibility of others.

These others that Wicked is envisioning my not be in human form, they could be like the spirit of Gabriel living on a different plain of reality much different than we can even comprehend or imagine. Does that mean that Wicked's life fantasy isn't real? Or does it mean that we are so limited in our knowledge and our thinking that we can't comprehend the unknown possibilities of other plains of reality other than the one that we are living in...There is a vast universe to explore not only out there in space, but in our minds!

  The Clubhouse Challenge today is Wondering about Windows Live IDs, and I really have no idea how many places that I go that uses the Windows Live ID because most of the time it all happens automatically. So I guess I will just have to see if I can find out exactly: What Marcus is getting at here with his question? This site looks like it has a lot of information with the Introduction to Windows Live ID and The Laws of Identity! So basically our ID is who we are digitally, not what screen name we are using.

I here people complaining all the time about having to sign here or sign there and it just makes senses to have a Passport. I mean we can't leave the country without having identification proving who we are, so it just makes sense to have one! Having an ID lets us connect and share anywhere  that we can use a computer and it just made me think of something...We aren't our IP address we are our digital identity each one of us is unique.

I know that Marcus the Community Manager has at least three identities that I know of, but I feel like his question goes further than the obvious answers. Like all the Windows Live products and Microsoft sites that are available for us download and use today. There are the products and services in the future that haven't even been thought of yet, but that they are working on, which will be available to us with our Windows Live IDs.

There's the philosophic view of our IDs in that We are all People Behind the Keyboard, and no matter what our handles, nicknames or whatever name we use, that we are still the same person on the inside, and we need to treat others with respect! The list of sites that we use our Windows Live IDs for is almost endless, because every person's site that we visit and leave a comment on knows it was us because of our identity.

Our Windows Live identity is Who We Are!

My Unique Life in Windows Live Space

  I want to tell you all about my friend Greg (aka) Political Incorrect's new "Windows and Live Talk Radio Show" on Blog Talk Radio! This was Greg's first show and although I missed the live broadcast I did listen to the show's podcast. I was so excited because Greg mentioned my name, and the name of my Windows Live Spaces site, in his first show. That really made me feel important (You know an ego Thing!) even though I realize my place in life is right here where I am supposed to be, humbled by the great communicators like Greg.

If you're interested in hearing more about what I had to say about Greg's show I left a lengthy comment on his entry: The Show Is About To Begin. I think that Greg has a great idea with his Windows Live Radio Show, to help people live and on the air right now, by answering their questions about Windows Live products.

It is so interactive and just what people are looking for on the Internet.

I think it's the way that things should be on the Internet: Instead of just staring at a web page with words on it, which is fine for some people, when they have a problem. For me, I want a real person! A person like Greg to be available to real help me solve my problems, on line right now. I think that this is a fantastic idea talking to real people on line right now!...Instead of waiting for answers!

I just stopped by Greg's site Microsoft Live Spaces Resource Center and it looks like he's got this Talk Live button installed on his page. So I have no idea what Greg is up to now, but believe me when I tell you: Were there is a will there is a way, and Greg will be trying to help you find a way to get your questions answered now! You just never know what he's going to be up to next...You'll just have to stop by and see!

Things change very quickly here on the Internet!
